Table 1. The Nevada Bird Records Committee Review List.
Most recent revision date: 9/28/15
The contents of this web page are based on the major revision of the Nevada Bird Records Committee (NBRC) Review List undertaken by Chris Elphick, with assistance from numerous Nevada birders, in 2001, and include an additional major revision carried out by the full committee in 2009. The original publication of this list in Great Basin Birds 4(1), 2001, included a very informative discussion of the 2001 revision effort and history, elaborately documented by Chris Elphick. Nevada birders who assisted in the effort are credited there by name. Please consult the original publication in Great Basin Birds for that discussion.
Note: For taxa that have ever been considered full species by the American Ornithologists' Union, or are currently considered full species by other national or international ornithological societies, the committee may choose to review records for those taxa even though other conspecifics are not rare in Nevada. (Example: "Eurasian" Green-winged Teal.)
